9:28 YESSSS. Education! I and many others appreciate the fact that you are not just a parts swapper!!! That takes a lot of intelligence and patience! GOOD ON YA!! Love this channel!
That might be a strong motivator to scan all those classic Sam's Photofacts to digital .. silverfish do not eat metal .. unless someone has already digitized the entire Sam's collection and is sharing it with the world
I'm A TV tech with 40 yrs. experience who love repairing vintage equipment but damn, once I looked inside that toilet, it would have gone straight to the curb.
The coil is a "Universal" or "diamond" wind pattern. Another similar pattern is the honeycomb which is a coarser winding. I'm putting a machine together to wind these actually. There are several UA-cam videos showing home-made winders and the grandfather of all home winders is the David Gingery design (Book). The pattern is used to minimize self capacitance which occurs when the windings are tightly wound next to each other.
I have an idea that this set was made by Sharp (I know that they built sets for WA in the '70's) and, from my experience, Sharp sets had a reputation for having bad flyback transformers. I had a friend, who fixed Truetone TV's, and he once told me that the Sharp-made B&W sets from the '70's ate flybacks.
This set definitely looks more like a Toshiba than a sharp. shango did a video a while back on a similar set that was made by Toshiba ua-cam.com/video/-Esmvx9vZ9k/v-deo.html
My father bought a Truetone tv brand new from Western Auto, it never worked right. It was in for repairs several times and one Saturday morning it started smoking, he grabbed it and threw it out the door.
I just love your resurrection videos. Always great commentary, always learn something. Thanks so much for taking what must be a lot of time to produce these and share with others. Long may you continue. The more battered the item, the more intersting the video. Thank you again.
Yeah it has been awhile since I saw a rat nest made out of filthy wool insulation that big .. I was screaming at the screen .. CLEAR IT OUT OF THE WAY! .. I think he left it there to troll everyone
I like all the great tips on this video. I actually am planning on taking next monday off; or at least half the day to see part 2., I am liking where this is going so far.
You don't fustrate me at all. I love schemas, manuals, phamplets. C&Ds, IPBs. Good to see you can lay your hands on actual paper for a change. Those days are quickly disappearing when buying electronics now days. The pictures of the sets tell all and I enjoy it.

Keep going. This heeeere is one of the best education and entertainment channels in vintage TV out there.
I agree, feel the same way, would like to see it work somehow also, Great idea, love your drive and willingness to see this through. Thank you for another Great video, you are Awesome as usual
The way that the Line Output Transformer Primary in that Set was constructed was known as Wave Winding.A Lecturer at the College I went to in my youth had come up with a way of curing shorted and hard to get wound components.He would soak them in a mixture of Varnish and Turpentine and then allow them to dry before trying to use them again.I have not tried this myself but he seemed confident that this could be made to work.Good luck with your plan to try to substitute the Line Output Transformer and get a picture on this Set.
I photocopy old schematics as you do to preserve the originals. After I make notes on the photocopies, I scan them for future reference. I love vintage TVs, but restore mostly audio gear.
Still a great diagnostic video Shango, thanks for sharing the knowledge! I don't know about So-Cal, but up here at the northern end of the state we did have Western Auto. But that was many moons ago, used to get my bicycle parts there when I was young.
This TV seems to be a lot more work than some of the other ones you've resurrected, I am surprised you're even going to make a part two. Hyped to see if you can get it working again.
Another great diagnosis video, thanks Shango066! I'm looking forward to Part 2, to see if you can cram that NOS Zenith fly in there and get some HV! If it can be done...you're "our guy!"😊
This is my favorite source for fecal-encrusted, insect-riddled electronics repair. I wouldn’t watch silverfish escape scenes anywhere else. Keep up the great work!
Diagnostic thinking, doesn't frustrate me at all. In fact it's through watching your videos and trying to think in a similar way that I've got my old Philips oscilloscope finally working properly. I could've researched, shotgunned all the lockfit transistors and crossed my fingers but as it goes I only had to translate a section of the Dutch service manual, buy a small batch of BF194's and a couple of odd others i had in stock & was away. Much more fun learning how it is supposed to work, why it's not working and what's stopping it from doing than it is just rebuilding something wholesale. Thanks again, and again proud to consider myself a student of your methodology. Also, never knew silverfish ate paper!
After the intro I swept my mouse over the time line and noticed: no pictures of infomercials or test generators. Oh goodie! Over an hour's worth of electronics troubleshooting with bonus mice nest and silverfish. I gotta sit down for this one. Thanks for a good start to my week :-)
My small town I grew up in had a Western Auto, still remember the sign outside. Don't remember much about the inside, but I suppose it was like today's auto stores, except they sold appliances, TV and other assorted electronics. Some Hollywood movies showing a main street usually included a Western Auto sign.
yeah I've done the exotic car resto.. mice had eaten the wires in a VW convertible but a couple of bags of wiring harness from the junkyard and many splices later I got a 300k+ convertible running again..
My family owned a Western Auto Associate Store in AZ form 1970 through 1986. We recieved our products from the western reigon distribution center in the City of Industry, CA, a suburb of LA, which was closed around 1985.
At least there's audio that's a good start. Signs of life irregardless of what's happened to it. That nest is a fire waiting to happen though, at the least I would have pulled it to prevent the set from burning down.
42:06 Just an FYI for those learning out there, see that coffee color ring around the mirror like spot of the getter? That is a sign of a tube with a lot of hours on it or been red plated and had a hard life. Still usable, but near its end of life.
I liked the diagnosing of the TV, although, frankly, I would have removed all the crud... ok, granted it adds entertainment value, but yeah... gross. However, the idea of doing a substitution of the flyback by (possibly) a compatible part is an extremely interesting idea. Can't wait to see how it'll turn out. Thanks for sharing a very entertaining and interesting video :)
Yep I'm just now getting into the video towards the start here when you're looking up the Sam's but I think it's a mouse ate one of the wires inside that's why you got it so it don't work to begin with but you're the pro love your videos I'm glad you're speaking again I hope nobody else pisses you off
Not related to this video but I have a 1951 german radio with a blown across the line capacitor. I find you to be great at this stuff. Cant find a schematic for it. What is the typical the cap used in that application? Thanks Edit: Im was hopping to see that mouse pillow showing some picture!
Rats and mice are very different .. one is like 3 times larger than the other.. Hey Shango for the experiment of it, can you clean one of those resurrection ones? Just garden hose and brush, or something.
I love resurrections with flotsam, jetsam and rodent digestive ephemera still in place! Western Auto was a great company who cheaped out on their employees and went out of business. Kind of like the other corporate run stores have all done. 👍😆
Very interesting how the primary of the flyback was wound - would love to have seen how these and some of the more complex IF transformers were made back in the day.
I’m curious to know - since you’ve obviously worked on just about every brand of TV I can think of, what is your opinion about who made the highest quality CRT color sets ? I mean in terms of circuitry and performance. Thanks for these great videos. They’re fascinating.
That looks just like a Magnavox portable that my brother's friend had years ago. I never could get the VHF tuner to work; UHF did. Of course I was like 10 years old...
midland were/ are a uk cb and ham radio manufacturer, they have always made solid dependable but boring radios, there saving grace is that they are very modifiable.
Many vertebrates (including rats, mice, and even cats) have a "collapsing ribcage". Basically, if they can fit their head through, they can fit their whole body through.
If this replacement tranformer is designed for similar size CRT and tube H-out, it should work OK if the yoke inductance is near the same. I also did it once with old BW TV.
When you said you conceded, I thought "Naw, this is a Shango video, he always brings stuff back to life!" Besides, I always thought rat nests improve reception!
Of course he wasn't going to give up quite yet. I think the only thing I've seen that he's given up on was that Toshiba amplifier that had a board in it that literally caught fire.
I'm glad you decided to talk in this one; it'd been a bitch to follow if silent. Excellent schooling video; will have to archive offline for future reference. Looking forward to part 2.
Thanks Shango, I'll relax after work tonight watching this. From a very wet and rainy Dublin. 👍
Say hello to Brendan he is in Ireland
9:28 YESSSS. Education! I and many others appreciate the fact that you are not just a parts swapper!!! That takes a lot of intelligence and patience! GOOD ON YA!! Love this channel!
"I don't like them because they eat schematics"
This made me start laughing
I hate Silverfish too. I have been trying to kill them for five years. They are everywhere in my filing cabinets with Sam's Photofact no.1 to no 700.
Books? We have books.
That might be a strong motivator to scan all those classic Sam's Photofacts to digital .. silverfish do not eat metal .. unless someone has already digitized the entire Sam's collection and is sharing it with the world
they only eat the traces on the paper. lol
yeah me too!
Yeah, can't wait till next Monday. FrankenTV here we come. I really love and appreciate your time and effort in making your videos.
I'm A TV tech with 40 yrs. experience who love repairing vintage equipment but damn, once I looked inside that toilet, it would have gone straight to the curb.
You're one of the very few I enjoy seeing and hearing from California. The very few...

Your OCD viewers are all jumping off bridges now after seeing you not remove the rat nest crap. Great video!
One of cleanest chassis I have ever seen must be a joy to work on.:):)
Thanks for going through the effort to scrounge up the schematic.
I like a shovel style handle on top of this TV set.
Another great video. Like.
Awsome diagnostic, application of logic vid.
Thank you for sharing
Sweet. It's relaxing to look at these videos during my summer holidays. Thank you !
My father bought a Truetone tv brand new from Western Auto, it never worked right. It was in for repairs several times and one Saturday morning it started smoking, he grabbed it and threw it out the door.
Oh boy an hour long Shango vid, there is a god 🙏🙏🙏
Good one! Looking forward to part #2.
I just love your resurrection videos. Always great commentary, always learn something. Thanks so much for taking what must be a lot of time to produce these and share with others. Long may you continue. The more battered the item, the more intersting the video. Thank you again.
Love the channel man. Madly addicted.
Nothing better than eating lunch and watching a rat nest bug infected resurrection shango 066 style.
Yeah it has been awhile since I saw a rat nest made out of filthy wool insulation that big .. I was screaming at the screen .. CLEAR IT OUT OF THE WAY! .. I think he left it there to troll everyone

Keep going. This heeeere is one of the best education and entertainment channels in vintage TV out there.
Can’t wait for next week!!!!! I love a good hacked substitution! Making it work is proof you understand how it works.
I agree, feel the same way, would like to see it work somehow also, Great idea, love your drive and willingness to see this through. Thank you for another Great video, you are Awesome as usual
Love to have seen the parts on the Radio Shack shelves when that TV was new.
So looking forward to Pt 2!!
At 100:21, "in order to preserve the fecal integrity of the vintage television set" LOL!
1:00:21*
100 years from now people be screaming ..
"Its 3612!"
Thanks for the videos! The info is priceless & the humour as well.
Takes me back to some of your earlier videos, this was a great troubleshoot man, love seeing all the test equip & real paper manuals being used.

You haven't yet paid a visit to see Uncle Doug I guess...

I found your channel maybe two months ago. And for me and my fé&ed sense of humor. It's a perfect mix of electronic diegnostics and entertainment. So just keep on doing what you want.
Western Auto sold Truetone branded guitar amps... (and Revelation branded .22 revolvers and 12 gauge shotguns as well).
Those were the days.
My small town I grew up in had a Western Auto, still remember the sign outside. Don't remember much about the inside, but I suppose it was like today's auto stores, except they sold appliances, TV and other assorted electronics.
Some Hollywood movies showing a main street usually included a Western Auto sign.
Aint nothin like scrolling down and seeing a video from you.
I was wondering if there is a schematic symbol for a rats nest?
www.edn.com/wp-content/uploads/media-1203598-funniest-schematic-ever-lg.jpg
I work at a Porsche dealer a little north of you and can say the rats really love the taste of our wiring harnesses.
Another great video!. I have an Emerson set pretty close to the same style neat little sets.
Shango is just roadkill for vintage electronics
Hantavirus: the motion picture
I'm into both so like I never get anything done for watching videos, lol. Don't forget Uncle Doug!
@@jackallen6261 Hoover > DeMuro, and Aging Wheels bests them both.
@@AiOinc1 Okay
glad to see ur back making videos again i have watched almost all ur videos an have learned alot from u
Back from where?
@@shango066 idk lol i dont know how often u post videos but didnt see u post anything in a while thats all no biggy
hay do u still go to burning man ?
Yes, that is what I like about your videos, you never give up and then you succeed.
yeah I've done the exotic car resto.. mice had eaten the wires in a VW convertible but a couple of bags of wiring harness from the junkyard and many splices later I got a 300k+ convertible running again..
Cool video, thanks for sharing
“Heavier dutyer” That’s my new thang
Those mice must love UHF! Thanks for the diagnostic tour......
Rat crap goes in before Shango goes on.
Nice. 1h video :-)
Always interesting videos and humor , just wondering why you didn’t clean out the back with say compressed air first, before troubleshooting it...
Another awesome video! Cant wait for part 2!
My family owned a Western Auto Associate Store in AZ form 1970 through 1986. We recieved our products from the western reigon distribution center in the City of Industry, CA, a suburb of LA, which was closed around 1985.
not so far from where shango is now, it's trying to return home!
Watching again 12/31/23 😮 happy new year 🎊 future people
At least there's audio that's a good start. Signs of life irregardless of what's happened to it. That nest is a fire waiting to happen though, at the least I would have pulled it to prevent the set from burning down.
There's some bugs in the nested software.
42:06 Just an FYI for those learning out there, see that coffee color ring around the mirror like spot of the getter? That is a sign of a tube with a lot of hours on it or been red plated and had a hard life. Still usable, but near its end of life.
just like me, you can't give up!

However, the idea of doing a substitution of the flyback by (possibly) a compatible part is an extremely interesting idea. Can't wait to see how it'll turn out. Thanks for sharing a very entertaining and interesting video :)
That Midland with the same chassis, looks like that one Jordan Pier worked on, it was also a Hitachi.
Interesting ending. I thought you were going to heave it into the dumpster. I'm looking forward to see how you rig that flyback into the set.
good job sir when i found shematic diagram like this tv
Yep I'm just now getting into the video towards the start here when you're looking up the Sam's but I think it's a mouse ate one of the wires inside that's why you got it so it don't work to begin with but you're the pro love your videos I'm glad you're speaking again I hope nobody else pisses you off
Thanks for shareing
Very cool videos
Truetone! We had a few Truetone items. Western Auto. Cassette Recorders.
Part two 😀😀😀
Not related to this video but I have a 1951 german radio with a blown across the line capacitor. I find you to be great at this stuff. Cant find a schematic for it. What is the typical the cap used in that application? Thanks

Don't give up!!!
I hope you make more videos! Ur my top 1 UA-camr!
Looking forward to Part 2!
glad you are not giving up on it.

Thanks for these great videos. They’re fascinating.
I would guess he would probably say a zenith
That looks just like a Magnavox portable that my brother's friend had years ago. I never could get the VHF tuner to work; UHF did. Of course I was like 10 years old...
28:19 at least the tube isn’t missing! 59:40 is that the Mitsubishi logo?
Aw yeah my man
yOU TALK VERY CLEAR.
Shit man I can smell that thing form my place over in Adelaide South Australia.....

Muito bom seus vídeos, não perco nenhum
"We have no ohms" 16:12 Lol.. u r the best!!

Shango, is this the same Midland that made CB Radios?
love your videos
Oh man, when you opened the cage I thought "well at least the flyback is in good shape." Bitter irony.
When you said you conceded, I thought "Naw, this is a Shango video, he always brings stuff back to life!" Besides, I always thought rat nests improve reception!
I brought a shop manual in out of a 1984 Lincoln i got that had silverfish. Now every once in a while i see a filversish in the house.
Of course he wasn't going to give up quite yet. I think the only thing I've seen that he's given up on was that Toshiba amplifier that had a board in it that literally caught fire.

Does the handle double as a detonator for the use in the mining industry.
With so much against it, it makes for a better video.
